Bounds on Elasticities with Optimization Frictions : A Synthesis of Micro and Macro Evidence on Labor Supply

Chetty, Raj - 2009

How can price elasticities be identified when agents face optimization frictions such as adjustment costs or inattention? I derive bounds on structural price elasticities that are a function of the observed effect of a price change on demand, the size of the price change, and the degree of...

Monetary Non-Neutrality in a Multi-Sector Menu Cost Model

Nakamura, Emi - 2008

Empirical evidence suggests that as much as 1/3 of the U.S. business cycle is due to nominal shocks. We calibrate a multi-sector menu cost model using new evidence on the cross-sectional distribution of the frequency and size of price changes in the U.S. economy. We augment the model to...
